Toshiba has announced a new breakthrough that has to do with embedded hardware for the smartphone and mobile product market. Toshiba has announced the development of a new low-power technology for embedded SRAM. The new technology promises to extend the battery life for smartphones and other devices.

Toshiba has announced a new series of 4K Ultra HD TVs at CES this week. The new TV series is the L9300 range and promises four times the resolution of full HD TVs on the market today. The new TV line is powered by the proprietary Toshiba CEVO 4K Quad+Dual Core Processor.

Toshiba just wants to know you're fit, healthy, and eating well, and if its new smartwatch prototype can help you with your email, calls, and messages too, that's all the better. The company is showing off a new concept watch with a 1.7-inch color OLED display, capable not only of hooking up wirelessly to your smartphone so as to ping over reminders, alerts, message previews, and other notifications, but of tracking your pulse from your wrist and keeping a fitness record. It even uses biometrics for security.

CES 2013 starts early next month and there'll be no shortage of new devices on display at the show. Toshiba will be on hand at CES and one of the new products that it will be showing off is a slick SDHC memory card that features wireless transfer technology. Toshiba says that the memory card on display at the show will be a reference unit.

Since smartphone cameras are becoming just as good as most compact point-and-shoot cameras, steps must be taken in order to keep point-and-shoot cameras relevant. Toshiba thinks they have a solution and have unveiled the TCM5115CL 20MP image sensor, and it's the highest-resolution ever built specifically for point-and-shoots.

Toshiba is readying a Lytro-style camera that could allow photos taken on smartphones and tablets to be refocused after they're captured, with a complex lens assembly creating data-dense adjustable images. The camera, which is expected to be commercialized in late 2013, grabs 500,000 pictures in one take, The Asahi Shimbum reports, thanks to an identical number of lenses in front of the sensor, each taking a shot with slightly different focus settings.

Being able to recharge your smartphone or other device without having to fiddle with wires is very convenient. There are a number of wireless charging accessories on the market today for all manner of smartphones and other devices. Typically, these accessories include a case and a charging pad that allows the battery inside the smartphone to be charged simply by placing it on the charging pad.

Welcome to Tuesday evening everyone. Today we found out that nightly builds to CyanogenMod 10.1 are ready to go for the Nexus 10, which comes just a short time after nightlies started rolling out for the Nexus 4. IDC said today that Android will likely stay on top in the battle for mobile dominance until 2016, with iOS placing in second throughout, so it looks like the mobile landscape won't be changing all that much in the coming years. Verizon is set to begin rolling out targeted ad campaigns this week, but you'll only see those ads if you give Verizon permission.
